"Flying Beetle" reimagines the Beetle chair in a Thai context where dynamic multilevel seating is natural and ubiquitous. To create a fun and relaxed seating experience, the lightweight, flexibly robust, accommodating Beetle shell is hoisted up in an intricate string 'hammock,' a work in collaboration with Bangkok-based macramé workshop, HandHand Studio.

The proposal was a part of the exhibition, "TEN: BEYOND THE BEETLE," curated by Triennale Museum director Marco Sammicheli. To celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the iconic GUBI Beetle chair, the show presented 10 artists and designers' interpretations of the chair for Milan Design Week 2023.
